In the comments for Marseille-Lille (0-0) Saturday evening, Paul Tchoukriel once again mentioned the possible sale of OM to the Saudis.
A poor 0-0, whistles for Pau Lopez and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and at the end this song which came down from the stands of the Vélodrome: “Sell the club and get out!” » In a rather troubled period, Olympique de Marseille was not really reconciled with its supporters on Saturday evening against Lille.

Part of the Marseille public has therefore once again demanded the departure of the current managers, while the eternal rumors about the sale of the club were relaunched Friday evening by Canal+. It was David Berger who, on the air, mentioned this possible takeover of Saudi investors, giving some figures and even a horizon, with a date. “OWe are talking about 400 million, as well as an envelope of 200 million for recruitment. This sale could even take place in January, which means that the events of last weekend may have served to speed up the process,” the journalist confided.
In the comments on Saturday evening for this OM-Lille, Paul Tchoukriel took advantage of one of the many downtimes of the meeting to also address the subject, recalling that there was quite a lot of noise in the corridors at the moment. And the Canal+ commentator noticed that Frank McCourt had made a habit of very quickly denying information about a possible sale of the club, but that he has not (yet?) done this time. A positive signal? Difficult to say, because this type of operation often involves a lying poker game and the most discreet communication possible.
